The Village Voice has created a list of the fifty worst songs of the decade, including entries from James Blunt, Xiu Xiu, Nickelback, Weezer, Beastie Boys, and Crazy Frog. Counting Crows took the number one slot with their cover of "Big Yellow Taxi," but the Voice also had beef with brokeNCYDE and used some inflammatory language, which has been included here for posterity's sake:

Bands like brokeNCYDE and electro-doofus earthstains like 3OH!3 are essentially excuses for rich white kids to play dress-up with the most sexist and materialistic elements of hip-hop--pretty much a minstrel show in crooked haircuts.

You can view the entire list here, at the bottom of their entry for number one.

hahahah. i don't care what anyone says, including brokencyde, this band is an intentional joke. and i'm telling myself that only because i don't know how i could live in a world where someone made this type of music in earnest.

"Happening Now" is kind of a link-dump for us editors. For the most part you aren't going to see stuff that's linked up there repeated on the front page. In cases like this, however, one editor might want to expand on it and make sure everyone takes a look. It's not something we expect to happen regularly but I wouldn't rule it out. We're pretty flexible from all the yoga we do in the Org HQ before work.

Brokencyde is a real band? I thought they were a joke my buddy showed me their video and I was laughing hysterically. One of their singers is like screaming and strangling this chick in their vid. They are like 16 year old rich suburban white kids and their drinking 40's like they can't afford a 6 pack, I guess since they are an actual band I am glad it made it to this list.

Yeah, I think so too. The person points out that they're a big Xiu Xiu fan, so it's kind of obvious that they more or less find the song bad relative to the rest of Xiu Xiu's catalog. So it seems kind of ridiculous to include it on the extreme list they're making.

I absolutely love Xiu Xiu and I absolutely agree that the song is pretty cringeworthy, but certainly not among the worst of the decade (or even of 2001).

in my 6th grade art class we had to draw a poster that depicted our favorite song, and the teacher went around asking us what song we were going to choose so he could make sure it was appropriate. he gets to this semi-retarded kid, who may or may not have had sex with his sister on numerous occasions, and asks him. the kid, without hesitation, screams out "Fever For Da Flavor Of Da Pussy", and gets sent to the office.

why include the Crazy Frog shit? i know it's among the most irritating audio in history, but it's obviously just a joke and shoulda been left off so that someone who took their shitty music seriously could be included.

That brokeNCYDE music video has been a source of comedy from youtube between close friends of mine. I had no idea they were recognized enough for any publication to call them out. They are the greatest joke of a band ever.

I think Adam Durtiz must have publicly slammed these two or something because no way is that THE worst song of the decade. Its a completely forgettable cover. Sure its bad but worst of the decade? That sounds more like personal bias to me. Brokencydes whole back catalog is worse than that song. The list is good for the most part but that pick dscredits the entire list.

Sorta surprised there was no Soulja Boy, or Lady gaga on that list. I didnt think that some of the songs were THAT bad. plus it was far to long of a read. they basically wrote a book about how crappy each song was. It was still funny though :D
